Chapter 1310: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 79 (Part 1)

The wind was whimpering, and as a ray of red appeared over the Brilliant City, the sandstorms in the Barrier District began to roll slowly.

Owen was shivering, curled up in the basement of the broken house. He was a little hungry, and Xima in his arms was still sleeping. Fortunately, Lao Cheng sent them a blanket. Owen only knew that it was dawn when he noticed the dazzling red light.

His mother once told Owen the difference between dawn and dark. Owen only knew that in the distant place called the city, if the light was on, it meant dawn, but Owen still didn't understand what dawn was.

During the day, because of the strong wind and sand, people in the Barrier District would try their best to stay in the house, but in the city where Owen was, they could also come out during the day because there were a lot of buildings blocking the wind and sand.

Owen had no patience anymore. He didn't know how long he had to wait. He had never waited so long. His mother had been out for a long time. Owen wanted to go out, but it was too cold now. He didn't want to wake Xima up because Xima would cry as soon as she woke up.

"Owen, are you still breathing?"

A voice sounded outside the house. It was Lao Cheng. Owen wanted to make a sound, but he finally fell silent. He didn't want to leave here.

After a while, Lao Cheng walked into the basement with a smile. Looking at the two children, one big and one small, curled up in the corner, they were still alive. Lao Cheng walked over with a bottle of heated liquid food with a smile.

"You must be hungry. Eat quickly."

Owen trembled. At this time, Xima in his arms also woke up. Lao Cheng took out a spoon and quickly fed both children.

"Owen, listen to me, go to the facilities behind, okay?"

Owen shook his head, and Lao Cheng sighed.

"Okay, if you want to wait for your mother here, don't come out. Can you promise me, Owen, no matter what happens outside, don't come out."

Owen looked at Lao Cheng with a serious expression, and finally nodded. Lao Cheng touched Owen's head.

"Remember what I said, Owen, don't come out, no matter what happens."

It's 8 o'clock

"Hurry up!"

Tents were constantly being packed up and put into the take-off and landing machine. A large number of team members began to gather and prepare. Early this morning, the team near the Alatan Ula Mountains received an order from the upper level to go to Jirigel. This former human settlement located in the northeast, with an urban area second only to Jirigel in the south, is located in the middle of the northern part of the Alatan Ula Mountains. It is the place where the most criminals gather. It is less than 50 kilometers away from Ling Hong's team. They received an order to arrive at 4 pm.

According to the investigation of Section 2, Jirigel has at least tens of thousands of criminals living in this ruined city. Section 3 has decided to mobilize 100 teams with more than 3,000 troops to launch a devastating blow to Jirigel.

The real war is about to begin. Many staff members feel it. This is different from the small-scale battles that seemed to have lasted all day yesterday. Although there will be bombings first, Jirige has a large number of underground facilities.

According to some past map information, this city was built by the humans who came here after the Earth disaster in the past. It was established by several large armed forces at that time. Among them, the Angus family, the Phoebus family and the Hosen family had all participated in the construction of Jirige.

The teams have started to set off separately. Ling Hong is still checking the status of the team members. Some staff members who are in poor condition have been sent to the take-off and landing aircraft. There are only more than 1,000 people left in the previous 30 teams.

Some nearby teams are approaching Jirige. Many people think that this may be the last clearing operation. A pair of panicked and slightly helpless eyes keep passing in front of Ling Hong. She wants to say something, but she can't say anything.

The command of the on-site operation has fallen on Ling Hong. She doesn't know what to do. There should be many children in such a large population gathering place.

The casualties cannot be covered up. No matter how the Congress covers it up, the fact that there were a large number of casualties in this operation in the Barrier Zone cannot be changed. The results have become the only argument of Section 3 now. Although this argument is not enough to convince the public, it is the most advantageous.

Most of the difficulties encountered in this march were not present in the previous simulation exercises. According to intelligence, the secret military factory is most likely in Jirige.

There are even food and water processing plants in Jirige. Only places like that have the conditions to manufacture weapons, food and water. After watching the last batch of teams start the operation, Ling Hong also followed the team.

The wind and sand are getting stronger and stronger. The time for rapid marching is at most 11 o'clock. The temperature at night is minus 80 degrees in some places, and the average temperature is at least minus 50 degrees. Such abnormal temperature is a great test for humans, but criminals can still live in the Barrier Zone. They know the Barrier Zone better than the people in the Operations Section and are more adapted to it.

In just ten short years, the barrier area has become a big problem that must be cleared. Ling Hong ran slowly at the end of the team, his thoughts still changing. Thinking back to what Mel said last night, he could only stop here. Ling Hong stopped.

"If you don't think about these things, there is no need to move forward, idiot!"

Dust rolled, 9:11 in the morning

Lao Cheng and many people who had not left gathered in the square. There were men and women, but most of them were older. Everyone was sitting or lying down, gathered in a small circular square, where almost Untouched by wind and sand, some people were smoking cigarettes, some looked drunk, some were wiping their weapons, and some were talking and laughing.

Lao Cheng used to be a doctor in the city. He knew some medical skills, but he was just a black market doctor. He had claimed many lives due to wrong treatment and even resold a lot of illegal and addictive drugs. Eight years ago, After arriving here, I never chose to go back to the city.

Most of the children in Jirigrad were delivered by Lao Cheng. Someone once asked him why he didn't want to go back. At least he had some medical skills and was able to make medicines from the raw materials he obtained and treat the criminals in the city. Those who plan to leave understand that they have no way out. No matter where they escape, it will be the same. Even if they surrender and are captured, at best they will just do heavy physical labor under the scorching sun. After several years of hard work in prison, they will return to society. But they can no longer go back, and there is no place for them to stay.

There were nearly 1,000 people who did not leave, and more than 200 of them were children. Some were left behind by their parents, and some had lost their parents long ago. The originally quiet and peaceful atmosphere was broken. Some people returned shortly after leaving. Some of those who turned back drove those who wanted to leave through a hidden road in the Alatan Ula Mountains.

On the opposite side of the mountains, there are still some facilities that humans built on the mountains in the past, which can provide shelter for these escapees. Most of the escapees do not want to go to prison, because many people have been to prison and they have had enough.

The temperature is now much warmer than at night, and many people did not wrap themselves up tightly. Lao Cheng stood on a fountain in the middle of the square, carrying a bottle of wine, and after taking a big sip, he laughed loudly. He laughed, and everyone's discussion gradually stopped.

"I just want to say one thing! Fuck the future! And enjoy these last moments!"

For a moment, the criminals in the square cheered, as if it was a festival. Everyone took out the food they had saved for a long time and started eating and drinking directly in the square. Some men and women met directly and walked into a nearby house. Originally, Some people think that Lao Cheng will designate a battle plan, and now it doesn't matter. Most of them have no future from the moment they set foot here.

In just over a day, some fleeing criminals passing through Jizrigrad received news from the front. The inhumane purges of the criminal department had begun. There were already many gathering places for criminals in just one day. Being unplugged.

Lao Cheng sat quietly on the half-destroyed sculpture of the fountain. At this time, he looked at a large gathering place not far from the square and close to the east side of the city. More than 100 children who were left in the city gathered there. There, there was a hint of helplessness and bitterness in Lao Cheng's eyes.

"If you can't finish the food, give it to those brats. Whether they can survive or not depends on the brats themselves."

Lao Cheng shouted, holding up the bottle of wine in his hand. Along with the shouts in the square, he started drinking. After a while, Lao Cheng became drunk. He walked crookedly through the crowd and found a random drink. There was a decent shabby room, and after plunging in, he lay down on a net bed with his gun in his arms, and fell asleep.

Owen stood by the window of the broken house. He looked at the square not too far away from here. The adults seemed to be celebrating something. The worry on Owen's face gradually disappeared. His mother had told Owen that adults could only meet when they met. It's a good thing that you only celebrate when there is something worth being happy about. Although he doesn't remember it very clearly, Owen remembers that the last time he celebrated, he had a full meal that night. There was also his father at that time, and everyone cheered and sang.

Owen smiled and leaned on the window edge with his hands on his chin, enjoying the cheers and shouts floating in the wind. These sounds often appeared in the past, and Owen felt relieved. Although many people left without knowing why, But there must be something good going on. For example, they might be bringing food and water.

On Owen's back, a small hand stretched out and pinched Owen's ear. Owen tilted his head slightly.

"Xima, mother will be back soon."

But at this moment, the little hand fell down, looking a little limp. Owen shook it happily, hoping that Xima would go to sleep quickly and grow up quickly. On a cold night like last night, Owen just leaned on the little one on his back. The stove had just spent the cold night, but what Owen didn't know was that the face of the baby girl on his back was already a little blue, looking weak and her eyes were dull.

10:11 am

Osman sat quietly in the section chief's office at the Eastern Guard Station, looking at the list of dead people in front of him. He felt mixed emotions in his heart. It should have been stopped. Osman kept slapping his forehead. He didn't know how to deal with these. The family members of the deceased stated that this was the most serious casualty in the past few years since the beginning of the army.

The current death toll has climbed to 831, with 1,982 injured. Nearly 30% of the staff who participated in the march in the barrier area have been damaged. Although there were estimates in previous simulation training, it would not exceed 50 at most. People, but now this set of bloody data is enough to explain everything.

There are too many unknowns in that strange land, which cannot be predicted by simple simulation training. The large-scale march failed.

Osman tried several times to contact Congress, but all failed. His authority as section chief was confiscated. On the light and shadow mobile phone next to him, the number 0013 had been entered for a long time on the dialing panel, but it was not dialed after all.

From a long time ago, Osman felt that his opinions were at odds with the principal Gene. He knew that the principal had walked in the darkness all year round and done many things. Osman understood that no snowflake in an avalanche was innocent.

He looked at the number of deaths again. In just one minute, the number changed to 833. Osman checked the two new people who died due to multiple organ failure and ineffective treatment.

Section 3's march plan was finally started out of desperation. Faced with the increasingly rampant criminals fleeing to the barrier area, cleaning up was inevitable. This matter seemed to be flowing smoothly, and it just happened. It suddenly appeared when Section 3 was under tremendous pressure from public opinion in the city.

No matter what he does now, nothing can stop this from happening. Osman glanced at the number 0013 again. He knew that even calling Jean's number now would not help. Osman knew his wife's character very well. She would not Stopped.

Over the years, many problems in Section 3 have been solved with the tough attitude of his wife Zijuan. She has courage and skill. The most important thing is that she has someone she admires. Jean is like a role model for his wife. My wife always nags herself about the principal.

Didi didi

Osman woke up with a start. The moment he saw the phone, he even wanted to cry. The caller was from the number 0013.

"headmaster!"

Osman choked.

"Do you need me to do something?"

Osman's eyes widened, and the words he had thought about for a long time and wanted to blurt out came to his lips and he swallowed them back.

"Is there anything else you can do? Principal!"

Gene's hearty laughter came from the phone.

"Whatever it is!"

Osman shook his head, and finally hung up the phone. He looked blankly at the sunlight passing by both sides of his cheeks. His own shadow was huge, almost covering the entire desk, and his eyes were slightly red.

Didi didi

Osman looked at the phone. This time it was his wife Zijuan calling.

"The last stronghold removal operation will begin soon. Is there anything else you want to say? Section Chief!"

Osman was in a daze. On the day of graduation, he remembered what he said to his classmates in subject 3: Change subject 3.

"I'm not this material!"

"Big pig head! Of course you are not this material. As I said, the only thing we can do is to let Section 3 find its own way of survival and hand this stick to the next generation. That's all! Why do you men At the critical moment, Osman is always as fragile as a child. When he is tired, he will take a rest. I will be responsible for completing the next work! "

The phone was hung up, and Osman held the phone blankly, feeling a sense of powerlessness at his fingertips.

In the dark night sky, ultra-low-altitude detection aircraft flew across the sky over Jizhigrad. However, accompanied by a violent explosion, one of the aircraft caught fire instantly after being hit by a heat-sensing missile, and crashed into Jizhigrad. Next to a dilapidated house.

Sizzling

Zijuan sighed and looked at the last scene captured. Several criminals standing on the roof, holding weapons, cheering and holding weapons, right next to a thermal missile launcher.

As well as the picture captured by another detection aircraft, many criminals were reveling. Zijuan quietly looked at the two flashing points on the map. These are the areas where the team is currently located.

"Deploy additional troops to 200 squads to surround Jirigrad."

The directors behind them began to issue orders. Everyone knew that since the criminals held such heavy firepower weapons, bombing could not solve many problems. Cleaning up after the bombing was the top priority. .

"Let a few teams with mutants advance to a range of 500 meters from Jizhigrad, and start clearing operations as soon as the bombing ends."

Zijuan stood up as she spoke, and the command vehicle began to move. Everyone knew that the bombing was only to divide the huge battlefield in Jizhigrad in a short period of time, and the core was the rapid raid and encirclement and suppression operation.

At least the criminals will be unable to respond in a short period of time. They will attack from the south and east of Jizhigrad at the same time and carry out a carpet-like sweeping operation. As long as Jizhigrad is captured, the criminals in the barrier area will have no way to hide. If the weapons manufacturing factory, food and water supplies are cut off, the criminals in the barrier area will not be able to survive for long.

Zijuan looked at the map of a part of the barrier area that had been mapped. There were many red lines on it. According to the investigation of more than 1,000 arrested criminals, according to their confessions, the monthly food supply was indeed Although some people have confessed that the weapons, food and water flowed out from Jirigele, they were sent by some men in black, but such statements are not credible.

According to photos of old mobile phones from the past that were confiscated from escaped criminals, many of the guys who come to deliver goods are key members of some large criminal gangs, and there are not a small number of men in black as mentioned by criminals. .

The cleanup of Jizhigrad was imminent, and the teams that received the order had already begun to move, leaving only a few teams slowly carrying out map mapping work.

"Let's get there quickly and speed up!"

11:08 am

Bar chi

The grape jam that had just been opened in Noah's hand spilled on him. Noah looked troubled, but he still picked up the bread on the table and dipped the grape jam on his clothes without any hesitation. He ate with concern.

"Are you sick?"

Li Guoguo stuck out her tongue and looked at Noah, who had just come out of the battleship's kinetic energy room. He was surrounded by people from the 10th family. In front of him was a giant flying object hundreds of meters high. It had the same shape as a blue whale. On the surface It is made of jet black metal. This is the first test flight of the Blue Whale warship. The effect is very outstanding. The effect of the directional blasting of optical nuclear weapons is far beyond everyone's imagination.

But at this time, many people's faces were a little solemn, and they were still checking the battleship's data around the Blue Whale battleship. The thing about the battleship that makes Noah most dissatisfied now is the armor. Although this new type of alloy armor can resist many types of battleships. It has high attack resistance, heat resistance, and high hardness, but the weight is too heavy. In terms of future improvements, light particle armor and liquid metal armor are two directions that must be overcome.

Noah licked the jam on his fingers, and then licked his fingers until all the jam was licked off. Then he wiped his saliva-covered fingers on his white coat. Many people covered their mouths in disgust.

"You really can't get enough of it."

Li Guoguo muttered, and Noah nodded with a smile.

“I wonder when I’ll be able to eat real fruit.”

Today's jams are all made with fruity taste agents. Although many people have adapted to it, Li Guoguo has never felt accustomed to it. She always feels a metallic taste because her taste buds are larger than those of jams. Ordinary people are developed.

Looking at Noah, who was smiling innocently and like a child, Li Guoguo couldn't help but feel a chill. Everyone knew what they did in the early morning, but Noah didn't feel the slightest bit guilty. What he did, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart, was that Noah pressed the button and pressed the launch button of the photonuclear weapon without hesitation.

A lava pit with a depth of 200 meters appeared instantly. The whole process did not take more than 3 seconds. High-energy photons were instantly fused and released. The high heat generated completed a short killing in an instant, and it ended without even a trace of wailing.

More than 200 top scientists from 10 departments are still collecting various numerical values ​​​​of the battleship Blue Whale. They cannot miss any detail. The future role of this battleship is to escort the huge battleship Noah and serve as an outpost. , detection, escort cruise, etc. work.

There are a total of four warships in the plan. Blue Whale is the first one and is still in the experimental research stage. The remaining three are already under construction, but now they can only be temporarily slowed down, and many technical problems still cannot be fully solved.

"What are you doing with your faces tied up? Hurry up and collect the data, and we can start the next phase of research."

Noah raised his hands and smiled excitedly. He assembled the Blue Whale battleship built with the most advanced technology in Brilliant City. The first test flight was successful and he got very good data feedback. This kind of thing made Noah At this time, Noah was extremely excited, and the crazy ideas in his head were born one after another, or ideas.

"You bastard, don't you have any sense of being human?"

Li Guoguo finally spoke. Noah's attitude made many people feel unhappy. The previous photonuclear weapons launched directly from Section 10 were also activated by Noah. He didn't feel uncomfortable at all. There is such a thing as conscience. You can't see it in Noah. The only thing you can see is his passion and madness for science.

"Why do we conduct research day and night and constantly discover new technologies? Because human beings need progress, and the root of progress is science. Human development has gone through one era after another. Science is the only symbol of human progress, and As scientists, we should contribute to the progress of mankind."

Noah spoke so passionately that many people were stunned. This was not something Noah would say on a normal day. Even Li Guoguo was very surprised. As a result, Noah suddenly changed the topic and started laughing.

"Do you think I will tell you these long talks? Unfortunately, science is a cold thing. It does not have any emotions. No matter what it does to mankind, it is a product of mankind and a necessity for mankind to move forward to the next era. Objects, compassion? Conscience? It is a pity that these things do not exist in science. Science is only the rational part. Glory? It is a pity that these things are only in the past. It’s just an established fact fabricated by scientists. You must first be interested in a thing and then start researching it. Even if you encounter all difficulties, you must complete the research and want to understand everything. This is not for anyone, or in other words, for What great purpose can be achieved is only pure love and interest, and science should not be labeled with any label!”

Noah's face darkened as he spoke. He put his hands in his pockets and glanced at the important people who looked at him blankly. Some of them were Noah's classmates, and some were new staff members in the past few years. There was recognition in their eyes. There was disdain, there was also disbelief, all kinds of complex looks were directed at Noah.

"Today we just applied a predetermined war weapon to the war that happened, and successfully used the weapon to annihilate the enemy and annihilate the enemies that were harmful to the city, that's all, so"

Before Noah could finish speaking, he saw a long snow-white leg appearing in front of him. When he was kicked in the face, an obscure smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

boom

After Noah flipped 360 degrees in the air, he landed on his face. He immediately raised his head, nosebleed flowed from one nostril, and he sniffed.

"Don't listen to this idiot's nonsense. Interest? Hobby? What I see in you, an idiot, is more for your own selfishness than any bullshit hobbies. I can't understand your behavior and thoughts, no matter what. From the past to the present, as a person, you must have the most basic conscience. If everyone is like you, you will find it easy to reach out your fingers and press the button to kill others, and even think it is very easy. If it were easy, the world would be over."

Many people were looking here. Noah raised his head, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and pressed his bleeding nose, still smiling at the corner of his mouth.

"I just want to know why! That's all. Maybe there is something emotional at the end of science. I just want to take a look, Guoguo! Keep working."

Noah said relaxedly. At this time, the atmosphere in the scene was a little more relaxed. Everyone loved and hated this secretary. The part about him was genius, the part about him that was unsophisticated, and the part about him that could always be completely immersed in his own scientific world. , and his words that always hurt others and never considered them. Everyone felt helpless and powerless towards Noah.

Li Guoguo turned around and looked at her own light and shadow screen. She was too lazy to compete with Noah. She couldn't remember how many times she had beaten Noah because of her fiery temper. She didn't do that when she was still in the Academy of God. He knew that he had beaten Noah many times, but he never fought back, because in some parts, Li Guoguo knew that what Noah said was right.

"Idiot, will you die if you say a nice word?"

"Forget it Guoguo."

Heim'o next to him muttered, and Li Guoguo frowned slightly and pinched Heim'o's arm.

"You fat pig, why don't you say something and you'll always cower to the side."

Heimou smiled innocently, but his eyes were blank. Li Guoguo also noticed that Heimou had become more and more strange recently.
